Last year we attempted to exit Sugar L. via Carpmore L. but found a beaver dam had made the portage very difficult, and after getting wasp-stung dozens of times, we limped back to a campsite to recuperate. I am considering trying again this month. Has anyone done this portage this fall? Is the water still low on the Sugar L. side?
Any responses appreciated, thanks

Hey All!
Are there any Keewaydin or other guys/gals from Wabun etc. out there who can answer rmr's question about the condition of the portage from Sugar to Carpmor?
Thanks
Ed. |

Can't tell you what it's like this year. I went through Goodfish in July.
In 2006 the portage was the usual vexing slippery rock hop.
We got our feet wet pulling up into Sugar. That's the only way I ever remember that route being.
Mind the wasps!

Doesn't look or sound like the best place to go.
I was in through Goodfish, Angler and Sugar late last September, 2007. My way out, through Nichol, Isbister, Barter and Turner etc. avoided the hornets nest but presented a number of other problems.
Thanks for the comments Dave B.

Thanks so much Dave B and Ed,
Those pics are great, it takes me back to a great trip. I would love to complete that route, I walked the portage part way, it felt remote and rugged. Very cool. I'll just have to find the right slogger to take along.
Peace, Rob |
